Transitions Academy

Health Care Reform and Vision Benefits

Washington D.C., government relations director Jeremy Scott gave a presentation entitled "Health Care Reform and Vision Benefits" at the 15th anniversary of the Transitions Academy on January 25, 2011, in Orlando, Fla. The Transitions Academy is a three-day event that brings together vision industry professionals to educate them about the value of quality vision care and identify best practices. Jeremy's presentation focused on the vision benefits that were included in health care reform, the current attempt to repeal the bill, and the implementation of specific provisions. His speech was included as part of the Managed Vision Care track of the event, where nearly 200 vision plan provider representatives and benefits brokers gathered. Transitions Optical, Inc., which puts on the Transitions Academy each year, is a market leader in the field of photochromic lenses and has offices on five continents.
